Structural Heart

This structural heart channel includes news, videos, podcasts and other content related to diagnosis and treatment of structural heart disease. Topics covered include heart valve repair and replacement, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR), transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR), left atrial appendage (LAA) occlusion, heart failure interventional device therapies, and closing holes in the heart using, including occlusion of atrial septal defects (ASDs), ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and patent foramen ovales (PFOs).

Two of the top pieces of content in July included the FDA clearance for the new Watchman FLX left atrial appendage occluder (left), which includes a video interview with one of the trial investigators. COVID-19 content remained among the top content in July, and one story explained the odd pattern of cardiac cell death in COVID-19 patient autopsies.
